The Museum of Coastal Carolina, on nearby Ocean Isle Beach, has announced another exciting program. Opening on Sunday, May 1, “SeaScope: A Look Beneath the Surface” features the microEYE DISCOVERY, a high-quality video-microscope for public interactive spaces. Located across from the museum’s “Green Swamp” diorama, the microscope will show amazing images of native flora and fauna at 20x magnification.
Take a look beneath the ocean surface with an up-close view of fish scales, corals, aquatic insects, and other local ecosystem residents. The microscope is tactile and designed for even the youngest visitor. Easy-to-use controls put visitors in charge of what they are viewing regardless of age or experience, while crisp, clear 1080-pixel images are displayed in real time on a high-definition monitor. Artifacts to view will be switched out on a semi-annual basis, with new materials to investigate and new ecology lessons to learn every season.
